Many students would like to attend a Gymnasium. With a successfully passed Matura, graduates have numerous opportunities in their further career. The gymnasiale Matura gives access to all universities in Switzerland.
What is the long-term high school?
The change to a long-term Gymnasium can take place at the earliest and only after the sixth grade of elementary school. Particularly in the canton of Zurich, the transfer to a long-term Gymnasium can only take place after successfully passing the entrance examination. The Langgymnasium is the first chance for ambitious primary school students to transfer to a Gymnasium in Switzerland and usually lasts six years. From the third grade onwards, students can choose a Matura profile and can also transfer to another Gymnasium.
What is the short-term high school?
The transfer to a short-term gymnasium can take place after the second and third grade of secondary school or after two years at a lower secondary school. Especially in the canton of Zurich, the transfer to a short-term gymnasium from secondary school can only take place after successfully passing an entrance examination. Children who have previously attended a long grammar school can transfer to a short grammar school without an entrance examination and probationary period. The Kurzgymnasium usually lasts four years. The students choose a school-leaving certificate profile
Central entrance examination
In order to attend a Gymnasium in the Canton of Zurich, students must successfully pass a central entrance examination. It does not matter whether you want to attend a long or a short term Gymnasium.
In the entrance examination for the long-term gymnasium, only the subjects mathematics and German are tested. For the entrance examination to a short-term Gymnasium, the subject French is additionally tested.
Since the transfer to a grammar school is highly sought after and popular, but there are only a limited number of places available, the requirements at the central entrance examination are very high.
Preparation for entrance examination to high school
In the meantime, it has become the norm that every student who would like to attend a grammar school attends a preparatory course. Often the respective primary and secondary schools offer one themselves, but these are often not sufficient, but at most supplementary.
It is highly recommended to attend a professional preparation course at an independent learning institute that specializes in high school preparation. The standards at the entrance examination are very high and the examination requirements are far-reaching and complex. There is a lot of screening in the entrance exams for the Gymnasium, because the places are so limited and coveted.
